Re: [GSOC] Scriptable SMS parsing

 

Hi Mayank,

Welcome to the community.
I'm glad to hear that you've completed installation without any issues. I
hope you can help other students resolve issues that they come up with on
the mailing list.

As you might have already seen, DHIS 2 can connect with an SMS gateway.
This is the documentation page -
http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch24s05.html
Most of this work was done by a UiO Master student, Magnus Korvald.
If you've got some time read his thesis -
https://www.duo.uio.no/bitstream/handle/10852/37426/korvald_master.pdf?sequence=1

The goal of the project is to be able to read incoming SMS through a
scripting language. A user should be able to write rules and map incoming
text to DHIS2 data elements.
Your experience from natural language processing could be useful, since you
can give us ideas on how to improve SMS data detection.

Long and Peder Andreas will be able to tell you more, if you can come up
with more concrete suggestions.

Saptarshi PURKAYASTHA
